FTPS plugin?

Post by *compie »

Is there a ftps plugin availible for total commander? I can only find plugins that do file transfers over an ssh connection and that's not what i want.

I really need ftp over ssl, here is more info about that:

:D Hello!
Yes, there is one. I installed:
Sftp Plugin 4 for Total Commander
http://www.p42.net/total_commander/
8) It's easy to install (as a .wfx library).
:roll: However, I don't know its behaviour "online", because I've currently none securised FTP-server to use...
:wink: I installed it "in the case where..."
Hoping it'll work fine for you,
:) Best regards,
friendly,
Clo

That's a sftp plugin, I clearly told that I need an ftps (ftp via ssl) plugin.

"sftp is nothing to do with FTP over SSL, it is a way of doing file transfer over SSH which has nothing to do with FTP (RFC 959). "

I'm confused about what SFTP is versus SSL/TLS, what is the difference?

SFTP is an FTP protocol that runs on top of a the SSH (Secure SHell) protocol, while SSL/TLS refers to standard FTP running over a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection. There is a some confusion about what SFTP is when some organizations are incorrectly using the term. They are referring to SFTP as Secure FTP, when it is actually standard FTP running over an SSL connection, and not actual SFTP. Chances are, if you are new to secure FTP, you are most likely using SSL, and not SFTP. While they are similar in terms of secure connections, they are completely different protocols. If you can't get your secure FTP connection to work, make sure SSH is unchecked, and SSL is checked when connecting to secure FTP servers.

Well it's as the text you quoted says; there's almost no difference in the user experience between the two ways of FTP transfer.

I'm silently wishing for a FTP over SSL/TLS plugin... :o)
